We Are Not Alone

Twenty-four hours ago I was sunning myself on a walk from a hotel to a coffee shop in San Francisco. It was cool by California standards, balmy by Toronto ones. March is especially cruel as Spring begins to appear in many locales south of the 49th parallel. Even though Spring may begin in March (the vernal equinox will be Friday, March 20, 6:45PM EDT), it's really Winter's epilogue (or epi-slog if you will). Whether it comes in as a lion, or out like a lamb, you can bet it will involve snow, freezing rain, blistering winds and general misery. At least it is a shared misery as this video of New Yorkers and their tiny, pram-driven dogs can attest.
